Already Here

About the book

With disarming directness, Jaya Julienne Ashmore draws on decades of art and meditation to bring us a character of utter gentleness and depth. Right from Jaya's earliest Gertrude sketches in 2017, Gertrude comes through even the most challenging moments with courage and wonder, and always reminds us to orient towads the subtle and the profound. Gertrude hints that we may already have what we most need within this messy mind, world and lifetime.

“…a wonderful antidote to the ‘noise’ and divisiveness in the world… you want to hush and bend your head closer. We feel Gertrude’s gentle, beautiful, disarming power...in fine, free-flowing and striking lines….restoring an intelligent feeling heart, wonderment, silence, and a feeling of rest.”

~ Jess Huon, dharma teacher, writer

“Some pages I want to frame because they are so beautiful and go so deep…Already Here is a gorgeous book I will read over and over again.”
